Hi Jennz
my son was diagnosed last yr with bi polar
but seems to deny it. gave us all a very bad yr
he was so out of control and would use alcohol
but not take meds( doesnt like pills !) he lost his
job, wife and home and stays with us now. He stays
very quite and mostly to himself so i believe this would
be known as the depressant state of the mania he was
in.
I can understand the roller coaster you were on and the relief
to now know what it is. I wish you the best in dealing with
this, I spent many a scary night with my son acting out.
I stay concerned for his future but i know through alanon
that I cant do anything about his choices,like not seeing a
dr. anymore or taking meds. If your husband is doing his
best to take care of himself, then well, I think standing by him
at this point is a very good thing after all he didnt ask to have
this.

take care
hugs
